[PATCH 10/11] dax: Ensure that zero pages are removed from other processes

Show all headers | View raw

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>

If the first access to a huge page was a store, there would be no existing
zero pmd in this process's page tables.  There could be a zero pmd in
another process's page tables, if it had done a load.  We can detect this
case by noticing that the buffer_head returned from the filesystem is
New, and ensure that other processes mapping this huge page have their
page tables flushed.
